[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681893

== SRU Justification ==
Asure and Hyper-V users have been hitting provisioning errors. 
The cause was narrowed down to vmbus_post_msg timeouts. 
This commit should alleviate this issue.  

This a very hot issue for guests on WS2016 hosts in Azure.

This commit was included in mainline in 4.11-rc1, and was cc'd to upstream stable.  
This commit is already in Zesty from bug 1676635.  This commit is a clean pick
and dones not require and prereqs in Yakkety or Xenial.

== Fix ==
commit c0bb03924f1a80e7f65900e36c8e6b3dc167c5f8

    Drivers: hv: vmbus: Raise retry/wait limits in vmbus_post_msg()

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
